What you can expect

Japan has preserved numerous intricate dyeing techniques using specialised tools. Nagashi-zome (flow dyeing) is a technique born during the samurai era (Edo period). In this workshop, we recreate this technique using a simple, original tube. By placing fabric inside the tube and pouring dye over it, this method allows the natural flow and the participant's intuition to beautifully dye the fabric. You can observe and adjust the blending of colours within the fabric, making it enjoyable even for beginners without special skills.

You'll also enjoy a uniquely Japanese experience: folding and dyeing Japanese washi paper. MIYACOZOME, a dye brand founded in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district with 135 years of history, is Japan's most popular dye brand. Experiences using these dyes that are chemically safe and will create lasting memories. Professional staff provide guidance, making this ideal for first-time dyers and overseas tourists.
